WILL POLICE PRIVILEGE ERASE INDIVIDUAL
LIBERTY?
In ancient times the "Divine Right of Kings"
insulated the ruling class from accountability for their transgressions
against the commoners; in modern times the scam is known as "Qualified
Immunity."
Qualified Immunity is the mechanism which allows a gang
of thugs in uniform to pump 41 slugs into an unarmed man, and
get time off with pay. It is also the loophole which has infallibly
permitted Secret Service ("SS") and Park Police agents
to escape judicial review in connection with their efforts to
rid Lafayette Park of "unslightly" demonstrators.
After years of largely unsuccessful pro se litigation
Thomas decided to give professional attorneys a chance to convince
a court to that police agents should be held accountable to the
law.
So far things aren't going all that well for the forces
of justice and equality.
